South Side Hit Men

The Sox suck because they have little talent. Tony cared and knew more about the unwritten rules than the written rules, and made stupid decisions in ballgames. They weren't a joke because players where chains, they released a hip hop documentary, they had pitchers cuss on the mound, or allowed players to wear facial hair. The Yankees haven't won anything for over a decade clinging to these outdated George Steinbrenner facial hair rules. This is the same organization paying scum like Josh Donaldson $21M. A player can't control an organization, but he can control how he conducts himself. Between trashing the Sox and his teammates on the way out, and his wife or whoever bitching about the Sox cutting off her free babysitting service indicates someone who needs improvement and self-reflection. Important attributes such as professional comportment, being a good teammate and respecting the clubhouse go a long way. Perhaps he wouldn't be going year to year on minor league deals if he concentrated on what he should do rather than focus on others.

I realize this was an issue early in the year and it's only been a few days for Sosa and Lee, but the two plus Colas have played regularly since their recent call ups, and I don't expect it to change baring an injury. Also believe the previous and current FO discuss the lineups and agree on playing time.

Because he shaved his beard off? He wasn't accountable with his beard? He is a fringe MLB player, and dumb to pop off against his former teammates.

His dumb ass went from a pathetic team to an even worse team. Good riddance. August Win / Loss Records Chicago White Sox 7-14 New York Yankees 6-15

2023 White Sox EVP / GM Qualifications Leaderboard: Drake > Hahn > La Russa > Getz/Moore

That wasn’t the case for the White Sox until Jerry bought the team. Chicago attendance and performance were equivalent for both teams. The A’s were the premier Bay Area team until the Giants built their new stadium. The Angels and Mets were always the Angels and Mets, beyond a few magical seasons. The A’s would have done well if they had didn’t have the worst current MLB owner (Loria previous worst owner), and they accepted one of the two viable Bay Area options.

He and Eloy are and will likely always be below average DH/1B types. If Andrew improves through his peak year, average 1B will likely be his ceiling. Then again all but seven players remaining are scrubs or AAA post deadline. This is far and away the worst team Rick Hahn ever assembled.

He also saved the Pittsburgh Penguins from moving and built the core for a Stanley Cup Dynasty with Mario and the rest.

Threats from who? The Team? Cringe Jerry Reinsdorf fans? Thanks for your efforts, they weren't unnoticed, came through loud and clear on the radio broadcast.

For some reason I thought 8/24 was tomorrow. Thanks for posting. Was awesome they inserted the Robert shush moment / Cub fan middle finger moment from last week (14:25 mark). Definitely recommend watching, whether you like the genre or otherwise.

Doubtful any team would want without something approaching his 5.1 WAR .915 OPS 2019 season, which is never going to happen. He needs to significantly improve his health and performance to reach .750 next year. Sunk Cost: $24.8M in 2024 + $5.0M 2025 Buyout ($20M more to extend and play in 2025). He will be owed $8M + $5M at the 2024 deadline, if he's playing well and the Sox eat some/all money, they could get something in return, better than a pre deadline DFA IMO.

Better for the slim hope Yoan is healthy and be flipped for something next July vs. getting new suckage, especially if signed beyond 2024. He will be motivated for a new contract, time will tell if his body and mind will allow it.

Announced Paid Attendance 13,247. YTD 1,319,337 with 19 home dates remaining. The Sox are going to need a hell of a lot better candidate than Chris Getz to stop the bleeding and a possible new all time low at the new stadium.

Jay is not wrong. https://jaymariotti.substack.com/p/with-living-done-reinsdorf-fires?r=kir1u&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

jerry doesn't own WMVP yet, came in load and clear on the radio, and there don't seem to be more than a few thousand there based on game highlights.

He said and I quote "What the F is going on here?" after Kemp's HR.

Yes, only a handful of success stories to date this season, with few to none on the horizon. Keep in mind the White Sox have or will play all 29 other MLB teams this season. Season Series with a winning record: Series Completed 8-5 Cleveland 4-2 New York A. L. 2-1 Atlanta; Cincinnati Theoretically Possible Series Split or Win Required 4-3 Detroit (Home September 1-3; Away September 8-10) & Kansas City (Away September 4-6; Home September 11-13) Series Win Required 2-1 Boston (Away September 22-24) 0-0 Washington (Away September 18-20); Arizona (Home September 25-27); San Diego (September 29 - October 1) Series Sweep (3 Baltimore, 4 Minnesota) Required 1-2 Baltimore (Away August 28-30) 3-6 Minnesota (Home September 14-17)

"They have 36 wins on the season and 91 loses. But they don't play that way against the White Sox." - Darrin Jackson "Oakland has outscored the Sox 28 to 23 so far in the first four games of the season series." - Len Kasper

Luis takes charge! Long live Chris Getz!!!!!

Edmonton had The Great One. This one, not so much.

Tiny Elvis wasn't going to stay tied with Benintendi in HRs for long.

Some group had a 250 tee shirt giveaway today, not sure if they were Oakland or White Sox sell the team related. I thought some fans were trying to organize tonight for Jerry / the Sox. Jeez, did "we" screw that up as well?

Moore is going to find a way to get him back.

Listening, so not sure how many are there but can clearly hear "Sell The Team" chants this inning, the third I'm half listening to.
